Funny Word - or strange funny words

I have to admit, when I first mentioned the word to them their reactions were priceless. One of the students looked at me as if I had said a bad word or something. But once they learned what the word meant - they wanted to know why I would go through all the trouble. Isn't it just easier to say a group of kittens or cats, than having to say clowder.

Personally I was just trying to find an interesting way to teach the students a new word and make a fun interesting video all at the same time. Even though I myself find it difficult to use the word clowder.

Oh yes and I saw a wonderful clowder crossing the street today. Oh so adorable.

It just doesn't sound right to me. But this was all about trying to peak our students interest in learning new things. Hopefully we did just that and may be, just may be - you learn something new today.
